The bits.Sub() Function in Golang is used to find the difference of a, b and borrow, i.e. diff = a – b – borrow. Here the borrow must be 0 or 1; otherwise, the behavior is undefined. To access this function, one needs to imports the math/bits package in the program. The return value of the borrowOutput will be always 0 or 1 in any case.
Syntax:
func Sub(a, b, borrow uint) (diff, borrowOut uint)
Parameters: This function takes three parameters of uint type, i.e., a, b, and borrow. The value of borrow parameter is either 1 or 0
Return Value: This function return two values of uint type, i.e., diff and borrowOut. Here diff contains the result of a – b – borrow and borrowOut is either 1 or 0.
Example 1:
// Golang program to illustrate bits.Sub() Function package main import ( "fmt" "math/bits" ) // Main function func main() { // Finding diff and borrowOu // of the specified numbers // Using Sub() function nvalue_1, borrowOut := bits.Sub(4, 3, 0) fmt.Println( "Diff:" , nvalue_1) fmt.Println( "BorrowOut :" , borrowOut ) } |
Output:
Diff: 1 BorrowOut : 0
Example 2:
// Golang program to illustrate bits.Sub() Function package main import ( "fmt" "math/bits" ) // Main function func main() { // Finding diff and borrowOut // of the specified numbers // Using Sub() function var a, b, borrow uint = 10, 5, 1 Diff, borrowOut := bits.Sub(a, b, borrow) fmt.Println( "Number 1:" , a) fmt.Println( "Number 2:" , b) fmt.Println( "Borrow :" , borrow) fmt.Println( "Diff:" , Diff) fmt.Println( "BorrowOut :" , borrowOut) } |
Output:
Number 1: 10 Number 2: 5 Borrow : 1 Diff: 4 BorrowOut : 0
